Another day, another Markle family member doing an interview about Meghan, eh?

Since the moment the former Suits actress got together with Prince Harry, the Duchess of Sussex's American family have not been able to stay away from the press, despite gaining no reaction at all from the royal family or Meghan herself.

Perhaps one of the main culprits has been her half-brother Thomas Markle Jr, who has turned to the media to slam the 37-year-old multiple times.

In early May Markle Jr. wrote to the Duke warning him that marrying his half-sister would be the "worst mistake in royal history" just days before the wedding. "Meghan Markle is obviously not the right woman for you." he said in a handwritten letter to the royal, adding that his half-sister was a "jaded, shallow, conceited woman that will make a joke of you and the royal family heritage."

The window fitter eventually apologised, claiming "I feel like an a** about it but my true feelings are I couldn't be happier for her. I mean, what are the odds?"

However, despite expressing his regret at writing the letter, now Markle Jr. has thrown himself back into the spotlight, attacking not just Meghan but also her new husband Harry.

The former actress' estranged relative has reportedly spoken to the Daily Mail, claiming that Meghan has changed and that he blames Prince Harry for her behaviour, stating that if she hadn't met him, things would be different.

"It's not the Meghan I remember," he told the newspaper. "The Meg I remember was very caring and she cared about everybody—that was important to her. Since Hollywood and being on that show—being a celebrity has changed her. Maybe she feels she is above everybody, maybe even more now."

He continued to state that the Duke was responsible for keeping his half-sister from visiting their father, who reportedly had heart surgery shortly before the royal wedding. "If she wasn't with Prince Harry right now—even if she was still on Suits right now—she would have stopped what she was doing to go and visit [our father Thomas Markle Sr.] and make sure he's ok," he said.

Speaking of the May 19 ceremony, Markle Jr. also told the Daily Mail of how offended he was that he wasn't invited, comparing the royals treatment of him to Kate Middleton's family. The 51-year-old pointed out that the Duchess of Cambridge's Uncle Gary - who has a domestic assault conviction - was invited, claiming that he should have been too.

"They have [brought outsiders in] before in the past like with the Middletons," he said. "I don't see why our family is any different. I think Uncle Gary and I would get along just fine. It would have been nice to at least get an invite to the wedding like he was."

So, do you sympathise with Meghan's American family? Or are you screaming at the screen, begging for them to shut up already?
